Just to give you an idea of everyone's stock out of the guys we're looking at... this all based on DraftExpresses rankings not mine

9th pick: Ennis, Hood

24th pick: Early, Robinson III, Hairston, Tavares

45th pick: Antetokounmpo, Daniels, Fair, Ejim, Benimon, Thames, Dawkins, Vives

These are all the guys we have scouted, interviewed, or scheduled/conducted workouts with.

If you want, feel free to choose the best three from each pick.

Everyone listed here has a grade outside of the 9th pick and even he's not set in stone there. Hood is in the mid to late teens of the first and Ennis is the same, some think he'll still be available in the early 20's.

I don't see one player listed worth the 9th pick at all. Which makes me lean even further to it being traded away.

Both Hood and Ennis will not be there at 24, which is why they are slotted at the 9th spot. Both players will go between the 14-18 range.

If you want either of them you're going to have to pick them at nine or trade down and select them with the pick you traded for.

Hairston may move up into this category but he currently isn't.

Hood is more of a project on defense than Biyombo is on offense.. Simply bc of desire.

It killed Duke to have Hood being batcrap awful on defense and Jabari who was good but half azzed it on D with minor conditioning issues.

Both on the floor cause tourny embarassment.

I'm not really high on Hood either but he's an interesting prospect. I've seen comparisons from Martell Webster to Rashard Lewis, to Rudy Gay.

He's nearly 6'9" so he's definitely playing the three spot. He's a good slasher and has a really good shooting touch but he'd be MKG's back-up and I don't want to draft a back-up with any pick earlier than 15th overall.

At 16, sure... take Hood and let him come in and get 20 minutes a game behind MKG but at 16 you could make the case for Hairston.... sooooo.... I don't see Hood as a viable option.

Not saying Hood was always great or even good on D, but this may be the first time I've seen someone say he was awful. And that Jabari was good. Jabari essentially never played help side, was out of position, and overall pretty bad on D most of the time IMO. Hood was one of the few bright spots, if only in spurts (when his mind was on it). If he can add some weight, to go with his length and athleticism, I think his defense will come around to be average enough at the NBA level.

Were trading back.  I'm not sure if we can move up....but the 9th and 24th for a pick in the mid teens and a vet.

 

Here's an observation of note.  Both the Timberwolves and the Jazz pick between our 9th and 24th pick.  Minny at 13 and Utah at 23.  Both teams give us potential sign and trade options: Minny with Love, and Utah with Heyward.  For love we'd have to give up both picks and probably MKG and Zeller (which I'm ok with), and for Heyward we're looking at giving up the 9th, MKG, and Hendo (I'm also ok with).  

 

The only scenario that I could see us trading up is if Marcus Smart falls to the 7th pick then we'd probably have the firepower to trade up two spots with the 9th and 24th and maybe Hendo.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Icege · Posted

      WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.

      Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.

      In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
